Can you use it to drill holes in the wall?

Not always. I have managed to drill through soft brick and breeze blocks - but anything serious you’ll need an SDS. But it’s perfect for plasterboard and not very dense clay/bricks. Obviously it’s good for wood/screwing things/ building flat pack furniture etc...

OK for little jobs, not man enough for the job he is doing in the picture. 1.1/2 hrs..flat

Really? I have a 14.4v cordless hammer drill from Aldi that I paid £25 for and I just used it tonight to drill through a cavity wall with a 12mm X 400mm masonry bit, which it coped with no problem. I've also used it for drilling into porcelain tiles... again, no problem.

Personally, I wouldn't bother with a non-hammer drill as drilling into masonry is always going to be much more difficult.

I’d wait until Black Friday as it’s regularly at that price but the two battery version.

If you go for bosch multi construction drill bits you don't need hammer action. I use my drill without hammer into 1930s brick no problem. Plus these bits are good for metal, plastic,wood and even ceramic tiles.

I would wait till black friday amazon usually puts up a bosch drill with hammer action and two batteries for £50

9th Nov 2018

Every time someone posts a drill offer here, people comment saying it’s not good enough, not powerful enough... right, I want to buy something seriously good, what should I be looking for?

Have to wait till blackfriday - last two times amazon have had lightening deals they have knocked them down to £50

Great drill with amazing battery life.

Just a heads up - I got this same drill during Amazon Day for £50 and it came with two batteries. Not guaranteed but likely to return to same price in two weeks from today during black Friday. Either way, good find and heat for OP.
